Diplomacy for Hives Expanded

Adds new dialogue, friendly relations, and randomized recruits to Hives Expanded.

I had been meaning to make this addon for a while, but I had a very difficult time mapping out what exactly I wanted to add. For now, it primarily focuses on the Southern Hive by allowing you to have neutral and allied interactions with them, with a few additions to the Western Hive as well.
I would have liked to make more changes to the Western Hive, but I hesitated to make these choices and felt it would be better to decide on it later with feedback.

Reaching different relations with both hives can be accomplished in different ways. I have not added a new method to end hostilities with the Southern Hive, but you can still use vanilla methods to accomplish it. One way is to injure their queen and heal her, but the relations gain only works if you have both a first aid kit and skeleton repair kit in your inventory when you do it.

Here's a list of notable changes:

• The Southern Hive will no longer provoke fights if you have neutral relations with them. Their default relations are still hostile.
  
• The Western Hive will now trade with your hivers if you reach allied relations with them.
  
• Adds a Southern Exile gamestart to begin with neutral relations and a blue character color scheme. Southern hiver subraces are now playable.
  
• Adds dialogue to the Southern Hive's princes guarding the Queen to gain relations if you have defeated Savant, Elder, or the western Queen.
  
• Adds dialogue to Western Hive traders and royal soldiers to gain relations if you have defeated the southern Queen.
  
• Adds a trader squad to Southern Hive villages with wares mostly identical to Western Hive traders.
  
• Updates Hiver-Claimed Armouries to stock Southern Hive gear including high-grade weapons. You must be allied before you can shop there.
  
• Adds a map of the Southern Hive, sold primarily by themselves.
  
• Allows allies to ask Southern Hive patrols to bodyguard you or protect your base. This is free and has 2 "charges" with cooldowns.
  
• Adds a Western Hive weapons trader caravan that visits the bases of allies in the same range as normal caravans.
  
• Adds recruitable drifter ronins from both hives that randomly spawn in nearby populated biomes and seek towns to hang out in. They can be any subrace, with praetorians being the rarest by far.
  
• Adds a Southern Ronin dialogue package for player characters, used by the new exile start, recruitable ronins, and members of the Southern Hive faction if you recruit them by other means.
  
• Makes praetorians selectable in character creation and adds them to both exile starts, only for player freedom.
  
• Changes the vanilla exile start to use the pre-existing ronin dialogue package and a red Hives Expanded color scheme.
  
• Adds new neutral comments for Southern Hive patrols and the Queen's bodyguards spotting the player. Also prevents their trespasser warning from immediately turning hostile.
  
• Changes the name of Southern Hive "Ronins" to "Samurai" to be consistent with vanilla word usage.

If you recruit any southern hivers, I recommend using a dialogue fix mod due to oversights in the vanilla race checks. I have my own uploaded version, but you can also use different mods that combine the race groups if you just want the dialogue to become functional.
Additionally, I have several other addons centered around Hives Expanded and hivers in general. They can be found here.
